    Terrence Crawford
    Gary Russell Jr

    All have the potential to be stars.

      Mikey Garcia and Errol Spence. If Spence rises up to the top, it'd be fun to see him compete against Lara down the line.

        I'm not sure if I'd call Mikey Garcia "American," pretty sure he'd identify himself as Mexican, Mexican-American at the least.

        he speaks great english and spanish. his father was born in mexico, i believe. both garcia brothers were born in america. they're ethnically mexican, but their nationality is american.

          I like Mikey I think he's good but I don't see him dominating like Mayweather has.

          I suppose there's Ward who I forgot about but he's already almost 30 or is he 30 now?

            Ward is almost 30, very thin resume for his age.

                Ward is 29 and still has plenty of years left in the sport. By the time he leaves some young guy we haven't even heard of yet might be ready to take over.

                  Terrance Crawford, i think has the best shot of filling the shoes of floyd and ward as the best fighter and has the potential to be p4p #1 if he can secure the big fights down the road

                    Ward probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

                      Wasting his prime years away. Done nothing of note since 2011 we're heading into 2014.

                      He needs to get himself to 175 and fast.

                      Apparently he's having some more promotional issues. Wants to fight Chavez Jr
